Paperback. Condizione: Good. Ephemeral yet tangible, bridging the delicate border between understanding and awe, Rodney Terich Leonard's poems live in the world even as they leave it, clinging like a ribbon in the sand / Captivated by your ankle, that Bojangles next to your chair. Leonard's sophomore collection, Another Land of My Body, collects singular poems, each a distinct marvel, even as together they witness aging, champion the resilience of desire, articulate Black Southern identity, memorialize the unequal burdens of the pandemic across racial and socioeconomic strata, and preserve the time capsule of one's particular memories that will depart with them when they go. When COVID pumped up on Ms. Clematine and Ms. Bessie Will, who paid taxes in an American town with six ICU beds, the heirloom chitlins / & pound cake recipes / & summer-white buckets of Budweiser / To B.B. King went hush. Leonard's impeccable ear subverts legacy, using the musicality of lyric and the sonic patterning of form to remember neighbors alongside martyrs of the police state: Heels cold cold-heeled history heels claimed cold: / Ahmaud Arbery--George Floyd--Rayshard Brooks. In these pages, every figure is totemic, reiterating the invaluable outside the ceaseless binds of global capitalism. Leonard writes, She wears her own hair & Fashion Fair. / Stutter ignores her penchant / For fried whiting & hushpuppies. / No one I know calls her baby. Here is a woman as monument, he says. My mother's allure wasn't from a magazine; / Jet came later. In his own style, Leonard, too, is truly original, always encountering new terrain as he brings the past along. His poems are oft dispatches from an abrupt ravine, where he] learned another land of his] body. They are also lifelines, brief housecalls, promises of reunion amid temporary goodbyes. I'm at my retrospective, he answers the phone. Let me call you back.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In June of 1992, when all the polls showed that Bill Clinton didn't have a chance, he took his saxophone onto the Arsenio Hall show, put on dark glasses, and blew "Heartbreak Hotel." Greil Marcus, one of America's most imaginative and insightful popular culture critics, was the first to name this as the moment that turned Clinton's campaign around--and to make sense of why. Double Trouble draws on articles Marcus published from 1992 to 2000 to explore the remarkable and illuminating kinship between Bill Clinton and Elvis Presley--and, moreover, to explore how culture is made and shared in today's America and how, through culture, people remake themselves. Double Trouble is a unique and essential book about the final years of the twentieth century. This edition also includes a new essay Marcus wrote just before the 2000 presidential election: an eerily prescient piece that looks forward to two very different futures for ex-President Bill Clinton. …

Plucky Wilma Porter is the proprietress of Ebb's only Bed and Breakfast, and she knows everything there is to know in town: the mental state of Clara Tucker Booth Yune, a rich recluse who says only two words at a time; the gossip at Loretta Parson's Bold Cut Beauty Salon; and the sad series of events that have led poor Calvin Millet to the edge of desperation. Calvin is the owner of Millet's Department Store, a village mainstay for generations, but many fear that it-and the downtown-won't survive his terrible run of bad luck.
